The Disney-fication of Marvel

What Big Hutch has feared is about to take place.Disney is officially overseeing Marvel
cinematic projects.The announcement
that Kevin Feige will now report to Disney's Alan Horn and that Marvel is
now being integrated into Disney, we know what to expect next.Kevin Feige use to report to Isaac Perlmutter
who was Marvel Entertainment CEO.Apparently,
it is said that Feige and Perlmutter clashed, however this seems awfully convenient.Not
that we didn’t see this coming, but now that is has officially happened, what
now?

Well, according to Disney, Kevin Feige, will serve under Disney,
as other flagship departments have, such as Pixar’s (John Lasseter) and Lucasfilms (Kathleen Kennedy).The last Marvel cinematic outing being Antman,
may have helped to clean up the bad taste from The Avenger’s Age of Ultron a
bit, however, we now know that the studio will be a lot more hands-on than they
have been previously, and that’s saying a lot considering they have been
heavily involved to begin with.They
have already made their presence known in more ways than one, and this is not
exactly a plus.

This move does not give much to look forward to, as far as
creativity and originality where the Marvel cinematic universe is
concerned.However, I guess we will have
to see how this all plays out.
